Hi! I'm a mom of an 18 month old boy. My baby babbles a lot, is able to say mama, dada, yaya, lala (for his grandmother), broom broom for driving or riding a car and understands a lot of words already. When should he be able to speak more words, enough for me not to worry if he is developing at a normal pace. Thanks!

Not to worry, your kid's speech is developing quite well! I have read that you usually base your baby's age with the syllable he or she is able to speak. Your kid is turning 2, so it means he's at the right pace. He should also be able to have at least 20 words in his vocabulary. By the time he turns 2, he should be able to connect two or more words with each other to communicate like "mama kiss" or "no eat"
